Reading MU car move

I've managed to track down another electric car that changes hands a couple of years ago and bring its record (hopefully) up-to-date. Reading 9127, one of a couple of dozen "Blueliner" MU cars preserved, was evidently sold by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society to the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway back around 2016. The photo above, taken in late 2016, shows the car after rebuilding and repainting by LGSR. That line now has six of these MU cars and they've made fairly substantial modifications to them including removal of most underbody equipment and virtually all rooftop equipment including the headlight fairings. But these aren't exactly an endangered species and several are preserved in basically original condition.
